Basically, this has to do with memoization of the generalized `set!'. The `(quote symbol)' is being weirdly memoized: $ guile -c "(set! 'x 2)" ERROR: In procedure memoization: ERROR: Bad variable ([EMAIL PROTECTED] #-1#) in expression (set! ([EMAIL PROTECTED] #-1#) 2). As you can see, the memoized thing is a recursive list, hence the endless recursion while unmemoizing the faulty expression to display the backtrace. The real fix may be to remove the `macroexp ()' function, as already suggested by the comment in there. Thus I'll look at it after 1.8.2 is out (if no one fixes it in the meantime ;-)). Thanks, Ludovic. _______________________________________________ Bug-guile mailing list Bug-guile@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-guile
